    yeah was thinking some bunnings style vents on the back of the case (between the cab and the tray) those cases seal so well!!

    Day 44









    What a day!!
    Wiring fixed under the tray and a new earth strap was added. Block and tackle worked a treat getting the tray back on and it only sagged an 1" in the rear with the 220lb springs which is great!! i had 2 spares and my 100kg mate on the back it still sat very flat and it gave me a chance to test the air bag coils so all it good in the ass end! did a little damage to the paint work on the tray as it's still very fresh but no big deal.

    simple answer is 'because i can' but the truth is because my time is worth less then paying someone to re engineer my chassis for a 300 tdi and it gets me out of 2 weeks worth of domestic duties around the house so my ute is ready for when i go back to work next year

    ok no idea how many days it is but the project has taken i slight change.... i now have a 300tdi for the ute.....

    it's a bit scary atm but LR kinda got a few things right with the disco such as a wiring loom that can be taken out and for my sake re fitted!
    the plan is to swap the rangie shell over to the disco chassis and 'graft' the dash and interior into the rangie also.... and if the engineer lets me all the 'straight' panels also making it a 'Landrover RRISCO'

    anyway here are some pics




    my old chassis and engine


    the disco


    my new motor


    new loom


    drilling out spot welds for brackets that the rangie didnt have....

    Jessie_xa is doing exactly this at the moment for his Rangie ute.

    Means you get the Rangie ute look on later model running gear. Plus the better interior. His is still V8 though.
